which strobes for gh2 and future setup

Hi, I have been shooting video for the last couple of years with a GH2 in a Nauticam housing.
I'm looking at moving over to the darkside and shooting some stills on my next trip. I am looking for recommendations on which strobes to use. I want to purchase something that im going to be able to use when I upgrade my camera in the next 18 months/2 years.

Where I'm completely up to speed with video equipment, I know nothing about stills. Just looking for a push in the right direction from you guys...

Inon z240 are the most compatible strobes if you ever change camera. Sea and sea YS-d1 are also very strong and have fibre and electric connection. I have just bought two z240 as am doing exactly the same as you going back to stills for one or two trips

Hi, If you are going to have an ikelite housing when you upgrade your camera, then Ikelite strobes such as the DS 161/160 are worth looking at as they will do complete TTL in an Ikelite housing. However otherwise Sea and Sea strobes and Inon are generally better. More powerful strobes have a higher guide number which can be seen from the specs. Inon Z240s are good, although quite expensive and I find them more complex than Sea and Sea strobes to use. The Sea and Sea YS-D1 is a good strobe with a guide number of up to 32 without a diffuser. If you have a slightly lower budget then I'd look at a YS-01 as they are TTL compatible with a range of cameras (see here:http://www.seaandsea...itychart/a.html) and have a good price for their features.
